When I removed bms and went to 18, I was a bit disappointed lol. Felt like less torque midrange. But seems like they are improving power on every release
That seems to be how any tune is, a good solid base line of an upgrade and with more logs/feedback the tune gets better down range in all aspects.

After doing some research I discovered that the FMIC on the E70 35i is MUCH BIGGER than the FMIC on say a 335i. It's even close to the size of the upgraded FMIC that COBB recommends. Here's a comparison.

Stock E70 X5 35i FMIC


Stock E90 335i FMIC


COBB upgraded N55 FMIC


I wonder if it is safe to run the Stage 1+ on the E70 35i stock because of this?

I would say you could flash to the stage 1+ however, we all know that the OEM CP is crap. I'd replace the CP if you go to the stage 1+ from my experience in the past. Bringing up the E70 stock FMIC and the COBB FMIC that is pretty interesting. I wonder if this can be asked to MHD/Justin due to the fact of what you discovered as far as size goes
